Thank you so much for posting this video! I have been using the kite fold for my large, tall 18 month toddler but couldn't quite get it right. I had learned the fold from a photo on the web. Seeing you demonstrate it here helped me to know how to tuck in the crotch area so it was not so gappy on him. I just did the fold your way and put it on my son and it looks like it will work great! Thanks again! Very helpful!

@CautiousSaint glad it helped!! it took me a lot of folding and refolding and doubling and chasing a squirmy baby to practice on before i got it down...

That kind of looked like the way they used to wear diapers when my mom was a baby, they called it the triangular fold. But then they used diaper pins, You can still buy them today but I like those snappies I've been seeing on here lately. That way you don't have to worry about sticking her with a pin. She is so pretty.

Super helpful thank you! I just bought hemp flats this past week and am excited to use them! This looks even better than our traditional Chinese prefolds!

I'm giving birth in November and I want to start cloth diapering from the very beginning of my baby girl's life, is this fold good for newborns?

Where can I get a snappy I am stuck using pins and I hate it! I can't buy online but I can't find them anywhere in my area...

good god thats a huge flat. What size is that? My son is 1 month so I dont use the big ones yet..

[OstrichesEverywhere7]

What are the measurements of the flats that you used?

finally thank you! no one else was folding them right i just have cloth diapers as a back up as every mother should and i dont have rubber pants or all that fancy stuff so its great to know i can do this with pins or just incase the little one gets a diaper rash! again thank you soooo much

Flat diapers are great to have for dusting cloths.
